Too big or too small? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/whats-the-difference-between-slouchy-pants-and-mom-jeans#post-825364 Tue, 22 Jan 2013 04:19:11 +0000 Jules 825364@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks Suz I was having issues with that post too...<br /> I think this one better illustrates what I think of as Mom jeans, without just being ill-fitting or comedically dated ie/ they still actually sell jeans like this...<br /> <a href="http://www.graspingforobjectivity.com/2009/03/mom-jeans-and-dreaded-long-butt.html" rel="nofollow">http://www.graspingforobjectiv.....-butt.html</a> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/whats-the-difference-between-slouchy-pants-and-mom-jeans#post-825288 Tue, 22 Jan 2013 02:43:22 +0000 Suz 825288@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I find the article that Niefern linked problematic for a whole pile of reasons. I don't think the Gap jeans look good on her...but i don't think the jeans she likes look good on her, either. And I don't think any of them are Mom Gateway jeans. It would help if she tried on the right size in the first place. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/whats-the-difference-between-slouchy-pants-and-mom-jeans#post-825197 Tue, 22 Jan 2013 01:24:42 +0000 Isis 825197@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Mom jeans don't have a dropped crotch. Also the pockets are usually really high.... </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/whats-the-difference-between-slouchy-pants-and-mom-jeans#post-825156 Tue, 22 Jan 2013 00:35:16 +0000 Ginkgo 825156@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thank you for the photos and references! I think these were actually worn a lot around 1988 or 1990 and unfortunate are those who haven't purged their closet.</p> <p>So I've made notes and will avoid high waists, low and wide pockets and leg bagginess. Looks like it's best to shell out for 7 for all Mankind. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/whats-the-difference-between-slouchy-pants-and-mom-jeans#post-825071 Mon, 21 Jan 2013 23:24:25 +0000 cciele 825071@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p><a href="http://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mom_jeans" rel="nofollow">http://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mom_jeans</a> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/whats-the-difference-between-slouchy-pants-and-mom-jeans#post-825061 Mon, 21 Jan 2013 23:09:50 +0000 dizzys 825061@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I tried on mom jeans by accident today at GoodWill.

As a matter of fact, I have a pair of jeans very similar to photo 3, left, that Marley posted. Except mine are lower rise and a dark blue, slightly distressed wash. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/whats-the-difference-between-slouchy-pants-and-mom-jeans#post-824976 Mon, 21 Jan 2013 21:22:22 +0000 Anonymous 824976@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think of slouchy as lower rise and the crotch is dropped. These are all high rise with an ill-fitting crotch, there isn't the ease and looseness you see with the slouchy trouser. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/whats-the-difference-between-slouchy-pants-and-mom-jeans#post-824954 Mon, 21 Jan 2013 21:01:02 +0000 Marley 824954@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Mom Jeans: I'm not sure how to explain them, but I know them when I see them! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/whats-the-difference-between-slouchy-pants-and-mom-jeans#post-824938 Mon, 21 Jan 2013 20:30:50 +0000 Ginkgo 824938@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Not that I think anyone has looked like they're wearing mom jeans when they're modeling slouchies, but I'm afraid that I might!</p> <p>Loose, baggy, dropped crotch by a couple of inches...and higher waist jeans seem to be coming in. Is it the baggy legs and the elastic waist that make mom jeans? And the fact that they've been in the closet for 15 or 20 years?</p> <p>This is why I've sworn to replace jeans and pants by 3 years or less, so that I'll look somewhat relevant. </p>
